There are not enough great things to say about John! From the initial consult we felt confident that he would be the perfect photographer for our wedding! Leading up to wedding day...
he would check in ever so often and made sure all of our questions or concerns were addressed. John captured our wedding day beautifully despite some dreary weather. We love how light, airy and timeless all of the pictures turned out! We could not thank him enough for his kindness and easy going personality that allowed us to be ourselves and that was 100% reflected in all of the images!! We will cherish these pictures forever, thank you John!!

t he does. He made our day so special and went above and beyond! I was so excited to see some of the photos already on the wedding night! I would highly recommend John Malloy and can’t give him enough stars!!! Highly recommend!!!
Five stars is just not enough for John and his team! From the first meeting to the day of the wedding John was so attentive and detail oriented. He thought of things that I would h...
ave completely overlooked or missed. He was extremely kind, thoughtful, down to earth and professional. He has unmatched talent when it comes to taking photographs, and knowing how to position you to get the perfect angles and lighting. Our wedding pictures were more beautiful than we could have ever hoped for. I can not recommend John Malloy and his team enough. Such a wonderful experience getting to work with them.
John Malloy is the best wedding photographer out there. My (now) husband and I would both say that we are not very good at getting our pictures taken. However, John Malloy is so pr...
ofessional and natural in his photographing technique that he makes you feel so comfortable while also making you look good. An additional bonus is that the pictures turned out absolutely AMAZING. Our friends and family were all so impressed with how the pictures turned out. John captured our wedding day from the big important moments to the small precious details throughout the day. We are so thankful that we chose him to document our favorite day.
John was absolutely one of our favorite vendors from our wedding. From the first time we met him (via FaceTime) to weeks after our wedding, he has been phenomenal to work with. He ...
communicated with us regularly just to check in, months leading up to the wedding. We had a long, wonderful phone conversation several weeks before, then when my husband and I decided we wanted to do some last minute changes, he spoke with us again on the phone the week of the wedding. He brought incredible assistants with him who did not complain once about the insane heat, and they were all dressed so nicely! His assistants were even going back and forth between me and my husband prior to the wedding to exchange gifts for us! When he sent the pictures to us just a few short weeks later, we were just in awe. We knew his work as amazing, but he truly made us feel (and look) like the only two people in the world in those pictures. His night shots especially just blew our minds. We were even worried with the timing of our wedding and how late the sun goes down in July that we might not be able to even get night shots while we had him, but he made it happen! I cannot tell you how many friends and family have complimented us on the beauty of the pictures, and I always say the credit goes right to John.
We are still in the process of finalizing the layout of our album, but I have no doubt that it will be absolutely beautiful. I also want to add that John is truly one of the nicest, sweetest people you will ever meet. He made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day, even though that was the first time we even met him. I would recommend John to any bride and groom in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed!
If I could give John and his team 10 stars I would. They were so professional, and captured my wedding day so perfectly. We got a small album the same day with pictures, they were ...
gorgeous and we can’t wait to see the rest. Highly recommend John and his team!
John is so attentive to the details and the couples wishes! He was a little out of our way but 100% worth going and sitting down with him to see his work. As soon as he began talki...
ng to us it was obvious how passionate he is about what he does. He is incredibly talented and patient. We also did our engagement shoot with him and highly recommend spending the extra time with him! John knows what looks good and makes you feel at ease focusing on the details and special moments of the day, excelling in capturing everything. He takes the time to know what is important to you and makes sure you have a wedding book to remember the day by. John is so professional and personable he helped capture our wedding day forever and made us look like models!
We hired John for our wedding at the Stoltzfus Homestead in June 2018 and he was the best! John was so knowledgeable and responsive throughout our entire engagement, it was a pleas...
ure to work with him. John took our engagement photos for us as well, so it was great to get to know him and his style prior to our wedding day. During the wedding he was very professional and detailed about the entire process, we felt like we were in great hands. And in the end, the photos were absolutely beautiful! He truly is an artist. If we need a photographer for future events, there is no doubt that we would hire John again.
We were SO impressed by the amazing job John Malloy did to make our wedding day so special. He went above and beyond what we ever could have expected and thanks to him we have the ...
best pictures to relive our wedding day forever! His attention to detail and perfect lighting for every picture made all the difference! We would recommend John Malloy to ANYONE looking for an amazing photographer!
If I could give John and his team more stars I would. They are unbelievable to work with. John did the photography for our engagement shoot last summer, and then he and his team ph...
otographed our wedding this summer. He is one of the nicest people and makes you feel at ease, which is something that neither myself or my husband was very good at initially. He also is INCREDIBLY talented with his use of light. I told my (now)husband I wanted photos that looked like art for our future home, and John exceeded all of our expectations. John is such a talented and amazing photographer to work with, and he cares about getting to know his couples. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his team! They are absolutely amazing!
I could not say enough about how amazing John is. He does such an amazing job capturing every moment in the most perfect way on your special day. If you book him I promise you wil...
l not be disappointed.
John did a wonderful job capturing our very small wedding (<50 people) so that we have some gorgeous pictures to enjoy and was always very responsive during the planning process. W...
e were not super organized for our getting ready pictures or first look but he rolled with it and managed to get all the important images. He also got all of our requested family pictures and then some. Couples should know that yes, the second shooter is his wife who helps set up photos and tech, but I feel like the shoots went much smoother with her help rather than take tons of setup time. I was also worried with such a small wedding that a photographer would stand out but John was VERY discreet and there are so many pictures that I never knew he was nearby for. He was also great about quietly pulling us aside for a small photo op or two that ended up being some of our favorite pictures.
John was an amazing photographer to work with. He captured all the pictures we specially requested - including with sparklers!
we received the pictures less than two weeks after t...
he event and they were absolutely stunning. John has a great eye for catching all the moments you want to treasure and we could not be more happy and amazed with his photography. I would defiantly use him as a photographer again and highly recommend him to others.
Please revise my original review for John Malloy to the following:
John's work is beautiful, and his approach to catching special moments is truly unique! We loved our scenery sho...
ts and John's approach to using lighting. This is the reason we chose John over the others. John was kind and sweet to work with both during our engagement shoot and wedding. He kept calm through snow, and outside winter engagement shoot, then the hot heat and humidity with a rain pour wedding day! John kept us on time and made sure we got all of the shots we discussed. After receiving our photos, we gave John some feedback on angles/shots wanted and edits. John followed up with us quickly and did everything we asked, even went above and beyond! We have an amazing large album and wall canvas to show off to our children, family, and friends. Thank you John for your patience and for sharing your gift with us!
John has been so amazing to work with! He shot our engagement photos and wedding photos. We could not have been more thrilled with his beautiful work! He is great about getting the...
job done in a timely manner and is always super friendly. He made us both, and our wedding party, feel comfortable so that we could loosen up and be ourselves in front of the camera! Another perk of choosing John as our photographer was that we recieved our photos in no time compared to most brides who wait awhile after their special day. While planning our wedding I did a lot of research and I highly recommend John Malloy!
John was amazing to work with from start to finish. He was very professional and made me and my husband feel at ease during both the engagement session and wedding photos. Our pho...
tos turned out amazing, and we are so glad we went with John! We would definitely recommend him to any couple!!

nce which is something every bride needs on her wedding day. John had our pictures back to us quickly, and we absolutely love them!
I could not be happier that we chose John for our engagement and wedding photos! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to capture the moments of your weddi...
ng day! John is extremely professional, calm, flexible, and has such a kind demeanor. He has a way of capturing moments and feelings that serve as reminders of exactly what was going through your head and heart in that moment. He captured such candid moments of love between us as a couple that we will truly treasure forever. His photos are very artistic and different from others that we’ve seen. He has amazing ideas for working with light-both natural and his own, and knows how to utilize locations that you are photographed in.
My husband does not like having his picture taken, but he was able to be completely himself in front of John’s lens due to the level of comfort John is able to create when taking photos. This was huge for me as I was hoping to capture my husband’s heart on film as I had tried so many times to do myself and just could not. So due to my husband’s ability to then be himself for John’s pictures, I was also able to be myself, and it just made the entire experience fun and relaxed. John was truly able to take photos of us, the us that we are when there are no cameras around, and that is such a gift.
Every moment that I was hoping he would capture from our wedding day and then about a million additional memories are now on film for us to look back at anytime we like. He took all suggestions and photo ideas that I had found that I was hoping for, captured those, and then captured so many others that I hadn’t even thought of! During our ceremony, he had a slideshow set up that showed all of our guests the photos that he had taken that day! He even incorporated photos of our childhood, so it was a true progression of our lives from the time we were born until married. Everyone loved getting to see that, and this was something that they hadn’t seen before.
John also has a studio that he invites you to look at your photographs in, which I LOVED. It was so much more personal than just a link on the computer (that you will also get, of course). He had our photos back to us very quickly so that we were able to create wedding thank you cards with our photos, and he was just so easy to work with. We feel so blessed that we were able to have John as our photographer to capture our wedding day! His professionalism, artistic eye, and true gift to capture memories of a lifetime are things that we will always treasure when we look at our photographs.
I am so happy to have had John photograph my wedding on 7/3/16. He does a beautiful job of capturing all of the special moments of the big day, and is a true pleasure to work with....
He got our photos back to us within about a week of the wedding (WOW!) and they are stunning. My husband I love his use of lighting and wide lenses, and he actively incorporated that style into our wedding photos. John also does something unique, in that he presents a slideshow of pictures during the reception! It was a treat to see, and our guest were amazed - they'd never seen anyone do that before. We couldn't be more pleased! I highly recommend him to all others looking for a wedding photographer!
My husband and I were so lucky to find John! He did our engagement pictures in addition to photographing our wedding day. From our very first meeting with John, we felt completely ...
comfortable. He gave us great direction to create gorgeous pictures. We knew the second that we got our engagement photos back, that we had made the right choice in our photographer. Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were back within 10 days, and were absolutely beautiful! We couldn't be happier with the quality of service and the beauty of the products!
John has been so awesome to work with! During our initial consult and throughout the wedding process, he encouraged ideas and addressed concerns. My husband and I were nervous be...
cause we're not great at posing for pictures but he was able capture some of the sweetest moments that you would normally see in magazines! He was great at directing poses and capturing those "natural, sweet" moments. Our engagement pictures came out amazing! At that moment, we had no doubt we chose the right photographer! John is very professional and client-focused. He responds quickly to all emails and addresses all questions/concerns. On our wedding day, he showed a slideshow of some of the photos taken earlier that day. The pictures put us and our guests in so much awe and brought happy tears. I cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photos!! For all those brides and grooms-to-be, if you're looking for the perfect photographer to capture your day, look no further! You will not be disappointed with John Malloy Photography!! :).
John Malloy is one of the most talented photographers in the area. For day 1 John was personable and very comfortable to work with. I got married of 5/21/2016. There was a 100% ...
chance of rain. John didn't let the rain stop him from capturing the perfect shots. He capture our wedding beautifully. At one point in time I witnessed him ring his suit out because of how soaked he got while capturing the perfect pictures. As a bride dreaming of an outside wedding, rain was the last thing I wanted. I was nervous the rain would compromise the pictures, but with John's talent the rain only enhanced them. John is a true professional and did whatever it took to capture these perfect pictures. At once time even wrapping his camera in towels to keep it dry. John was one of our best investments for our wedding day and I highly recommend using him for all your photography needs.
We had a great time working with John throughout the whole process of preparing and taking our wedding photos. And we got them back very quickly and they turned out beautifully! We...
got all of the shots we wanted and never felt rushed or overwhelmed throughout our day. He was great to work with and now we have beautiful memories to last a lifetime. We highly recommend John!

John did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We were very pleased with how well they turned out. He listened to our photo preferences and captured each moment well. I ask...
ed John for, "classic" photos and I believe he excelled in this area. His pictures are very classy and timeless. There were several times on my wedding day that I asked John to take a picture of something and he was extremely polite and accommodating. I would highly recommend John Malloy for any event and will use him in the future for family pictures!
John Malloy has raw, beautiful talent. He can capture the beauty out of any scene! He is the best photographer my husband and I have ever dealt with. We couldn't have asked for bet...
ter or more perfectly captured wedding photos!! There's no way you wouldn't give John Malloy Photography 5 stars, he's the best!
We loved John! The pictures were beautiful and he was great to work with! We had a short an engagement he was always flexible and calm!
John was just an amazing photographer through our engagement and wedding. We cannot thank him enough for capturing this special time in our lives. He made us feel relaxed and comfo...
rtable throughout the events and was flexible when a few things didn't go quite as planned. We are happy to highly recommend him to others for their photography needs.
John is simply the best! John came highly recommended as a top vendor through our venue and we can certainly see why. Within minutes of meeting John at his studio we knew he was th...
e right fit for us. He immediately made us feel content and all of the overwhelming thoughts and stress went away. John took the time to explain every detail of his service and answer all of our questions. We met up with John at a location of our choice for engagement pictures a few months later. With John's guidance and creative eye resulted in countless beautiful engagement images and an extremely fast turnaround time to download all of our images! John kept in contact with us throughout the year, as we got closer to our wedding day, including a final meeting to ensure all last minute details were taken care of. Throughout the wedding planning process, John was truly the one piece of the puzzle we never had to worry about. He was always one step ahead of us and always there for feedback and direction. John continued to provide his support and excellent service on our wedding day. John and his assistant did a magnificent job of spending time with the entire bridal part and capturing the most beautiful shots. By far the best part of the day was the slide show of selected pictures taken throughout the day that is shown during the reception. We still get compliments from our guests about how unique and special that part of the reception was. Overall, there are not enough wonderful things to say about John and his work. If you are looking for a photographer who truly cares about each of his customers, while delivering the highest quality product at an affordable price, John is your guy! We recommend John to everyone we know!!
Because of our profession, my husband and I are photographed frequently by various professional photographers around the country. We wanted our wedding photos to be superior to any...
other pictures in our collection. John was able to deliver well above our expectations! He brought the finesse and nuance of his art to the forefront in every situation he photographed. He treated our wedding with the care and detail a bride would hope for, capturing great memories, candid moments, and the most beautiful posed pictures we could have asked for! His passion, dedication, artistry and intelligence is apparent in the way he photographs and the way he runs his business. He was able to easily execute the duties of the day without being obtrusive to the events of our wedding. Overall, we LOVED working with John. We can honestly say these photos are the BEST we have ever received from a photographer. So happy with his work, and would recommend him to all!
John was wonderful for everything! Our engagement pictures turned out beautiful and our wedding photos were absolutely gorgeous! We are so happy we chose him. He works so hard and ...

ted him to capture and suggested some other great shots, which included using a background light and an absolutely breathtaking night shot. During our reception, John put together some of our sneak peek pictures in a slideshow to show everyone at the wedding and that just added to him going beyond our expectations.
John was so easy to get along with and all of our guests & family members were so pleased with how he made sure to get some great shots of everything throughout the night. His pricing was great and I appreciated him traveling to Baltimore from his location in PA without any issues for both our engagement pictures & wedding.
He was so quick to respond to my emails and worked well with our meeting dates/times since we lived over an hour away from each other. We received both our engagement pictures & wedding pictures within weeks which was amazing.
Thanks again for everything & I would highly recommend him to others!

I cannot say enough good things about John. Most importantly: we LOVED our pictures from both the engagement session and from the wedding. We especially like how good he is at capt...
uring nature and beautiful the surroundings look in his pictures. He made sure to ask what we like to see in pictures, for example different poses or angles. So, we loved how the pictures turned out, especially because he listened to our specific requests. We received MANY compliments from family and friends about how polite he was during the entire wedding. He was great to work with during the entire process—quick to respond to emails, easy to work with, very kind and joyful. Pricing in my opinion was very fair. Normally photographers with his kind of talent and equipment and products cost double what he charges. We have no complaints about working with John and we couldn’t be happier about how our pictures turned out!

We will be recommending him to anyone we come across who is getting married and we will be using him for any other time in our lives we need a photographer. Worth every penny!
